Introducing the new ArticleVideoRobot Member Area to speed up your video article marketing success

Monday, November 16th, 2009

It is an exciting time at ArticleVideoRobot as we have planned a number of major changes to the popular article video converter and distribution software. The first of the changes lined up is the new Members Area. The new Members Area includes an improved dashboard that sums up your account information better. You’ll notice the regular options Full Article to Video Editor and the New One Click Ezine Wizard now more organised under Start a New Article to Video Project. You would also notice that you’d see that all your most recent projects under the Recent Projects section. Note that you might not see all your video projects – not to panic, I’ll show how to access all existing projects later in the article.

MembersArea1-1

Let me first introduce some of the new changes. The most important of them is that the Members Area now lists the AVR (Video Download) and the VSR (Video Submissions) credits. A number of our customers have lots of confusion over the credits. Note that you get two sets of credits with your membership every month.

The Members Area would also now list your Account Level on the top left. The Members Area also now has the new Follow us on Twitter link if you wish to follow ArticleVideoRobot on Twitter. Just below the Follow us on Twitterlink is a quick preview of the latest blog article with the the blog title and a short description of the article.

One of the new features of the Your Recent Projects section, is the quick preview box that shows a quick description of the article along with important options which include Preview This Project that opens the Quick Preview window, Download/Distribute that opens the Select Publishing Options screen from where you could choose to download or distribute the video as well as the Edit this Project that opens the video in the Full AVR Wizard.

MembersArea2-1

Staying on with the Members Area, you’ll notice a new tab called Projects that will list all your recent projects. The difference is that the Projects tab lists all the video articles with the detailed preview and all of the options. However, one of the immediate question one might notice is where have all the existing projects gone? Here is how you access your existing video projects

  1. In the new Members Area, click Start Full Editor button available under the Full Article to Video Editor option. This would open the ArticleVideoRobot wizard
  2. Click the Open Existing Projects button. The wizard will list all your videos
  3. Select a video and on the right panel you’ll see the buttons Edit Selected movie and Distribute selected movie. Click Edit Selected movie option to open the video. If you would like to distribute the video, select Distribute selected movie

Notice the flashy bar on the top that says Return to Article Video Robot’s old Member’s Area. Click this if you wish to switch over to the old Members Area. Clicking on the close icon (the cross sign on the bar) removes this bar permanently, but just in case you wish to switch over to the old Members Area page, simply navigate to the following URL http://www.articlevideorobot.com/members/home.pl and you should be right there.

Hope this helps. Should you have any questions, please raise a ticket to Support Desk (http://www.articlevideorobot.com/support) and we’ll be glad to assist.

See you all in my next post,

How to convert your article to video using the new One-Click Article to Video Converter

Monday, October 19th, 2009

One of the greatest strengths of ArticleVideoRobot’s is its unique One-Click article to video converter technology that can convert any article that is posted on EzineArticle or simply in plain text or Word format to a lively video content in a matter of seconds. The One-Click Converter wizard, which was previously called teh EzineArticle Article Wizard, underwent a number of changes over the last few months. The result is the new One-Click Article to Video Converter wizard – more powerful in the sense it packs in a new engine that converts articles to video seamlessly, a wider range of article customization features, support for multiple article directories and a new easy-to-use friendly interface.

  1. Support for multiple article directories

    The new One-Click Article to Video Converter supports top article directories that include iSnare, ArticleBase, ArticleAlley and ArticleDashboard in addition to EzineArticles. The new additions are among the top article directories which means you could now convert all your articles to video like the same way you would for your EzineArticle.

    If you thought that the support for the article directories are a mere addition, think again. The new additions unlocks great article sources that you could use to convert your articles. Not limited to your own articles, but as long as you obtain necessary permissions from the author you could now convert your favorite article to videos to be distributed to YouTube. Also note that the new article directories (iSnare, ArticleDashboard, ArticleAlley and ArticleBase) are one of the top-ranked sites on the internet so any video that you create out of the article that is already on these sites would mean you get immediate backlinks when you publish the video article to YouTube, Metacafe, DailyMotion, etc. This greatly increases the chances of your video article indexed and associted with top-ranking keywords when searched in Google. Another aspect is that your video article would then add valuable backlinks to your original article on let’s say ArticleDashboard.com resulting in a chain reaction of backlinks that directly translate into increased traffic to your website.

  2. New Features to Customize the Video Article

    The new One-Click Article to Video Converter wizard now comes with options to customize all aspects of your video article as a whole. This saves a lot of time and re-work as one would not have to launch the video article in the full AVR wizard to change the background settings of a video. We’ve regularly received feedback from customers who wanted to set properties such as the voice-over character, the intro name (you could now change the name “Pat” to your name or remove it completely) and the background music/image. All these could be now customized directly in the new One-Click Article to Video Converter as shown below:

  3. Customize the Voice-Over of your video article

    The voice-over character that is used with the new One-Click Article to Video Converter can now be cutomized as discussed earlier. You could now set a single voice-over character read out the entire video article, a feature that was requested by many customers.

    Also, should you wish to include your own voice-over with your video article then you could set the option such that no voice-over is used. Just in case you weren’t aware, ArticleVideoRobot has built-in functionality that allows you to record your own voice and add it to your flash video on-the-fly without having to use any additional voice recording software and having to upload the recorded voice as an MP3 file. Please refer the following KB article for detailed instructions:

  4. Customize the Background Picture and Music

    One could now customize features such as the background music and the background image of the video article by enabling the customization options. Again, this is a great time saver as since the new article to video conversion wizard gives you all the options to plan your article upfront.

  5. Customize the Introduction Frame
    This is one of the top feature request from our customers. A number of our users wanted an option to customize the default name “Pat” in the video article when the article is being converted using the One-Click Converter. This feature hsa now been incorporated in the new article to video conversion wizard.

As you might have noted, the new One-Click Conversion Article to Video Conversion wizard is a welcome change that can greatly improve your productivity by reducing the time spent on converting your articles to videos. The new One-Click Article to Video Converter is just a start…we are working on a number of major changes to a large collection of ArticleVideoRobot features that should significantlyincrease the overall productivity. Besides, we have lots of new powerful features lined up in the next major upgrade due in a few weeks that should boost your video marketing efforts.
